We Indians generally don't know to pronounce R as the native English speakers in our talks, however we can make the sound (its written as zha)that seems similar to just like the natives.
We give so much stress to the letter, that it looks like its gonna fly out of our mouths...RRRRRed instead of jus Red.got it?
Now my question is the sound (zha or zhe) same as native English (mostly Americans than British) speakers for r?
To get a taste of that sound, i link you to a Tamil song, in which the singer uses zha. Its between 43 and 44 seconds into the song. The singer sings "mazhaiai" which means rain.
So for us Indians, Red spoken (by natives), would sound as Zhed.
